Default I think I am going to buy a D90 this week...

I know this is a luxury car forum, so I doubt there are too many, if any at all, of you guys interested in things like this. However, my question isn't really D90 related anyways I am going to call on it and try and get everything set up while I am on my way home from work Monday morning. I will obtain the VIN at this time, and was wondering if anyone on here has carfax access, and is on the boards in the morning time. I will probably try and set up a deal that is contingent on me getting a clean carfax on the d90, so if I posted the vin out here that AM and could get back to them that afternoon when I woke up @4:00 that would probably help me get the truck

So I guess what I am saying is, if I post a VIN number on here monday am is there anyone here who would be able to run it for me and post the carfax report up by like 4:00 that afternoon? The main reason I need it so quick is because I will have to call my bank get the money in order, and get a plane ticket and have all that ready for wed because that is when I will have the chance to fly out and drive it back!

Thanks,

-Ethan

You never know with me..

I am primarily buying it to use over the winter, and then possibly sell in the spring. They hold their value INCREDIBLY well (they are worth more used than they cost new when they were still available new), and I have located what I feel like is a pretty good deal that I may be able to break even on even after paying taxes, insurance, gas etc. for the winter.

However, the more likely thing to happen is me plan on buying it to use and then sell, but I will end up modding the crap out of it over the winter and keeping it... You guys know I can't control myself

Well, I bought one today. Looks like I will head out either Wed or Thur to pick it up. I would prefer Thursday, but it looks like none of my friends can go with me on such short notice, so I will probably have my dad go with me, and he can only go on Wed this week.
